between International Classes
Hi Frederic:
I have used two tools that I like a lot. Live Classroom a WIMBA product
mounted within Blackboard and Elluminate (www.elluminate.com )- which I find
a lot more user friendly. We used elluminate to run a joint engineering
course in entrepreneurship across three different campuses. Elluminate
provides video, synchronous access and archived files for the lectures. We
had guest from Japan, California, Israel etc join us in real time. It is
likely that your institution has these tools in their suite. While
presenting at the 2006 ICSB conference I used Elluminate to co-present with
my colleague who as 11 hours different in Toronto.
Best,
Ed

Subject: [ENTREP] Question on Best Way to Facilitate Communications between
International Classes
Hi All.
I need help solving a problem. I am teaching two graduate-level courses in
creativity and innovation concurrently, one in the US and one in Adelaide,
Australia. The one in the US is in standard mode, 3 hours per week over
15 weeks. The one in Australia is in executive mode - two full days in
March (during spring break) and two full days in May (after classes end in
California). I want to connect the two courses, for joint assignments and
interaction. I can use google groups, zoho, skype groups, moodle (an open
source blackboard system), Utterz or any other platform that makes sense.
Here's what I would like to do and I don't know the best way to do it.
1. I would like the capability to do synchronous and asynchronous
communication. Adelaide is 16-1/2 hours ahead of California.
2. I want to set up dyads of students, one here, one in Australia where
they can have conversations and I can monitor it on an occasional basis.
The conversation would be closed to everyone else.
3. I want to be able to have everyone contribute to a forum or a wiki on
occasion and to have everyone else have the capability to see what others
are saying and to contribute.
4. I want to be able to periodically form new groups, say, one-third of
the class(es) in one group, another in a second group, and a third in a
third group.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a good way of doing this? I
appreciate your help and will send the best solution to people who email
me.
Thanks,
Fredric
